To Write Your Own Script in life has meant several things to me the more I’ve turned it over and over in my hands.

Do Your Own Thing:forget what you think you’re supposed to do or what you think people expect of you.

Fuck the Rules: I’m not even sure the rules even exist.  We perceive that most people do x, y, and z and take them as gospel.

Do It Yourself: While I believe that many things in life will happen that are outside of your control, I also believe that many things are within your control.  If you want to make a change, no one else is going to do it for you.  Don’t wait for the world to roll out the red carpet for you.  Go to Home Depot and buy your own damn carpet.

Fake It Til You Make It: I believe that part of writing your own script is looking at the person you want to be (or the things you want to accomplish) and acting as if you’re already there.  It feels phony and disingenuous and silly, but for me its the only way to see things in a positive light.  If I don’t believe in my future, who else will?  The negative voices seem to be honest voices speaking the truth.  But I think its actually fear talking.  You have to force positive and supportive voices to have a fighting chance.

Is all of this a regurgitation of all the self-improvement blogs I’ve read during the workday while trying to figure out how to be happy and change my life?  Probably, but I’m beginning to believe in it.
